We made the move today. Tonight we will spend the night in Indio then on to Havasu in the morning. We usually stay at the Elks Lodge here in Indio however there is a Passport America park that during off season, their rate is the same as the Lodge. Passport America is a half price club where parks will charge members half price usually to bring them in during off season.
It is hot here, 111 degrees today but I guess it’s true what they say about dry heat because it is much more comfortable than Fontana was at 111 with much more humidity. I guess 106 in Havasu won’t be too bad since monsoon season is over so there should be no humidity. I can’t wait to wash everything down to get the ocean off. To add to that I am getting a good collection of bugs on the front of the motorhome and we haven’t even gone through the Colorado River farm country yet. I am not going to bother to clean it up until we get into Havasu.
Also, since I finally got in a location where I can get a fast Internet connection, I uploaded our NASCAR photos to our photo site. See the photo links in the left hand column.

Our New House
It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.
Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…
We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.
I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.
So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.
Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.
I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.
